How does the stable minded person behave as per Bhagwat Geeta?
The word that is used in Bhagwat Geeta is 'Stitapradnya'. That is whose mind is stable and who is intellectually mature. I will use the word stable minded only. Lord Krishna says that when the person gives up all the desires and satisfied with in him self and about himself only. Then he is called as stable minded person. (2/55).
(If you are dependent on others for your happiness, you are bound to get unhappiness, now or then. You will not always get the things to satisfy your lust. So it is better to be happy like a child. Child is happy for no reason.)
The person does not feel sad, when he gets unhappiness. The one, who does not bother about the happiness that is gained by material things, whose craving for the material things, fear and anger is lost, then such person is called as stable minded. (2/56).
( You are bound to get happiness and unhappiness from the external world. That does not affects the stable minded person. He takes both the things as a part of day to day life and rather sportingly.)
The person is not attached to any thing or any body. He does become happy after getting good things. He does not hate, when he gets bad things. Then he is called as stable minded. (5/57).
(His happiness or unhappiness is not dependent on the external things. He takes both the things as same. So his mood does not fluctuates.)
As the tortoise withdraws his body from all sides, this person also withdraws his sense organs from their objects. Then he is considered as stable minded.
The person, who does not use his sense organs, then he gets away from the objects of sensory organs. But then his craving for the objects does not go away. This craving goes away, when he gets away from such craving after he meets the God. (5/59).
( I do not understand the meaning of last statement. So I do not comment on the same.)
If you do not give up the craving for the material things, then these sensory organs will abduct you to nowhere. This is true about the most intelligent person also. (2/60).
That is why, the one, who wants to liberate himself, should control all the sensory organs and concentrate on me (God). Because when you have control over the sensory organs, then only your mind has become stabilized. (5/61).
( The God has initially told that by fighting the holy war, you will go to heaven. Then step by step the procedure is getting more and more difficult. Just like your education proceeds into the depth of the subjects, step by step.)
The person, who go on thinking about the subjects of the sensory objects, gets desire for the same. Then if there is some obstruction the your way, you will get angry. (5/62).
When you get angry, you are confused. Due to this confusion, you will forget the things. When you forget the things, then your intellectual ability will be destroyed. Once your intellectual abilities are destroyed, then you stand no where. (2/63).
But then the one, who wants to liberate himself, control his mind. Then he moves into the subjects of the sensory organs. He does it with out affection or hatred. Then that person becomes happy. (5/64).
(Expectations is the basic reasons of your unhappiness. If you take the things as they come to you, you will be happy.)
When your mind becomes happy, there is no sorrow. when you become happy, you will have concentration on the God. (5/65).
The person, who has not conquered his mind and sensory organs, does not have feelings (?). Such person will not get peace of mind. How can be a person becomes happy, with out peace of mind? (2/66).
( Here the word 'bhavana' is used. I have not the slightest idea about this word in original language of Geeta.)
As if the the inflatable boat is taken away by the force of wind, like that, a single sense organ will take away you to nowhere. If your mind goes after that sensory organ. (2/67).
So when the person has got control over the sense organs, then he is called as stable minded. (2/68).
God is like a darkness for all the others. The stable minded finds a light in God. When all others find the objects of sensory organs as lucrative, the stable minded person finds it as darkness. (2/ 69).
The river water enters the sea, with out changing the level of the sea. Like that all the objects of sensory organs enter the stable minded person, with out affecting him. Such person gets the ultimate peace of mind. Not the one, who goes after the objects of sensory organs. (2/70).
The person, who gives up all the desires, the one, who has got no ego and moves around with out personal interest (?), gets the peace of mind. (2/71).
This is how the person, who stable minded. Once he becomes stable minded, he dies with the ultimate happiness. Then goes to God (?). (2/72)
These are the few comments that are made by Lord Krishna In Bhagwat Geeta about happiness and sorrow. Lord Krishna says that you get heat and coolness, happiness and sorrow, when the sensory organs and their subjects get united. They arise and then vanish eventually. They do not last. So 'tolerate' the happiness and sorrows. (2/14).
Because the one, who is not imbibed by the combinations of sensory organs and their subjects, is fit for 'moksha'. (2/15). (Moksha is the ultimate place of God, from where you do not return back. Your stay with the God is there for infinite period.)
Lord Krishna says that you take victory and defeat, gain and loss, happiness and sorrows, as one and the same things and then go for the war. If you fight the war with this attitude, you will not get the sin of going for the war. (2/38).
(This is very important concept in Geeta that is insisted by Lord Krishna. There is day and night. The cycle goes on. There are different seasons. The cycle goes on. You are born, become adult, get old. Then die. Lord Krishna wants you to understand the facts of nature. You are supposed to take these things in right spirit or say in sporting spirit.) (Still He wants you give best possible performance in your life, with out getting mentally involved in the same. That is discussed else where.)
